Could you have imagined a Novak v Medevev Australian Open final this year? God the crowd would’ve counterattacked themselves and had to resort to cheering

That’s what we all wanted lol

Tsitsipas nowhere near it without Daddy holding his hand
Not there mentally either. Said it a while back the gap between him and the ones in front of him is getting bigger. He isn't even the 4th best player in the world IMO. Lacks the killer instinct to be a grand slam champion. It's up to him to change the narrative because all the signs I see is of someone who will be a perennial QF/SF but never do more than that.

Tsitsipas has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Not sure how to describe it but it’s like he works hard to put himself in winning positions but then gives up easily when something goes against him.

Whereas Medvedev gets more resolute and sometimes makes a bigger issue out of something and he uses that to his advantage.

PS kudos to the referee, allowed a little bit of s**t from both players but then both were eventually warned for their behaviour.
 
Tsitipas dad amazing coach.

Once coaching stop Medvedev dominant.
 
Why?

As an example

Olympics coaching is allowed

Masters golf coaching is allowed

Tour de France coaching is allowed

Tour de France is a team sport and l actually wished they weren’t mic’d up with their team cars. In fact they aren’t during the Olympics and have to make their own decisions without help.

Haven’t seen any coaches come out during a round of the golf Masters and give the players swing advice.

In team settings coaching during play has its place somewhat, but in individual sports should be a no.
